The two factors which best define the Master of Laws (LLM) at IE are their clinical approach and their focus on the practice of law in a business context.

IE Law School, founded in 1973, is an international reference in the area of business law and in the practice of global lawyering, featuring in the Financial Times LLM Listing 2009 of the best law schools in the world. Our hands-on approach to legal problems, as well as the active-learning methodology employed on all our LLM programs, make IE Law School one of the best places to study international law.

All our postgraduate law programs start from the recognition that merely 'knowing the law' is not enough for success in the practice of law. Our teaching methodology reflects this concept in its "active learning" focus, through individual and group work in solving hypothetical case problems based on the actual experiences of our faculty, many of whom are practitioners as well as professors.
